ner something of our trip to Spartanburs t'
the Grand Encampment: on Friday ine n.n;
we furero the pleasure OF q morning nap, anu
with ali haste, bravtd the lowering elements
and went 10 Coronaco, 10 secure our passag'
IN the excursion train. which has bcen run

during the past week. We found not more
than eight or ten passengers, upon entering
the train ut CorOnaca, but there were acces'

WAS at q premium. AT the Airline depot,
there was an immense crowd waiting 10 be
conveyed TO the encampment, TO when place
there had been 81 track laid, ana trnlnS were
making the trip every ten minutes: The
crowd was at last safely deposited on the ELL
carnpment grounds, where there was no
shade. with the exception of few little scrub
oaks, which afforded no more protection from
old SOILS rays which were now coming down
on dime paraFo. Every one seemed I" Dc
hunting a cool, pleasant place, which could
be best secured by going to the hotel. We
think. that Spartanburg has white elephant
upon her hands, in the encampment. Though
perhaps next year. they may krow little
better how to manage and provlde ior int
comfort of their visitors at least we hope so.
The emmense concOurse or people represent

that the order during the entire day, was
exceptionally good. We think nfier havin"

been much the more attractive and suitable
place for the encampmcnt. DuLClO.
